Chapter 791: A Fortune in Disaster

When he returned to the second courtyard, the bathtub in the next room had been filled with hot water and was steaming. There were dried flower petals on the bathtub, which had been soaked in water and turned from hard to soft. After taking a bath, Jiang Fubao's somewhat cold body instantly warmed up, and his nose smelled the fragrance of flowers, and all the tiredness of the day disappeared.

She didn't even read a book tonight. After putting on her pajamas, she felt sleepy and went to bed early.

At that time in Sunjia Village, although every household did not light oil lamps, no one slept.

In the moonlight, you can see that all the villagers have sad faces.

"Hey, village chief, what can we do? The medicinal herbs have been dug up, and we are not allowed to use the medicinal fields anymore. Are we just going to watch the cooked duck fly away? I thought I could make a lot of money next spring, but now I can't even celebrate the New Year. I wanted to buy a pound of meat and have a big meal, but now I can only eat bran and vegetables."

"Yes, the New Year is coming soon. What should we do, Village Chief? You should think of a solution quickly. Otherwise, how about we go to Jiang's house and kneel down until she forgives us?"

"Oh my, how are we going to get through this year? We used the money from the rice sales to buy meat and clothes. We were thinking that we would have money in the spring when we sold herbs. Now we have no herbs and no money. How are we going to survive?"

"Not only that, my three sons are waiting to get married. My family grows the most crops. I originally wanted to get money in the spring to marry my sons off. But now it's gone. What can we marry without money? My family will be extinct. What can I do? This little girl, how can she be so vicious!"

"Yeah, it's just a batch of medicinal herbs that were frozen to death. It's none of our fault. We didn't cause the snow. If you want to blame someone, blame God. Who would have thought that these medicinal herbs can't withstand freezing? How can they grow well on the mountain? I think it's just an excuse.

Maybe she bought some cheap medicines and ended up blaming us. Humph, you little bastard, you have a good life and don't have to worry about food and drink, why don't you think about us? She could have just bought another batch of medicines to make up for it, but she had to dig them all up. Is it necessary to do this? She is really a merchant girl, her heart is all black!"

"Village chief, don't sit there like an idiot. Think of a solution. If we don't have the medicinal seeds and can't grow medicinal fields, how are we going to make money in the future? Are we going to rely on the crops in the fields? We can't even make enough to eat. I still have five grandchildren to feed, so many mouths waiting to be fed. You have to think of a solution. We must grow these medicinal herbs. We must grow them."

"Village chief, please speak."

"Village Chief, what should we do?"

"Village head, why don't you go to the town tomorrow to beg Miss Jiang?"

"Village chief."

"Village Chief..."

"......"

Village chief Sun's house was surrounded so tightly that no one could get out. Every word from everyone reached Village chief Sun's ears, making the noise louder than the sparrows and cicadas in the trees in summer.

He had a terrible headache.

"Alright, alright, shut up, you're making so much noise. I'm just an old man, what can I do? Can she give me face or what? Who am I? Do you think I'm like that village chief Jiang, with someone protecting me? We're from the same village, you can't do anything about it, but I have it?

Didn't I beg? I did, but it was useless. If you had known this would happen, why did you bother to be lazy? I asked you to prepare straw, but you didn't. You were afraid of the cold and lazy, and stayed at home to wait out the winter. What's the point of coming to me now? You even caused the medicinal seeds in my house to be dug up, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."

Village Chief Sun sat on his chair, feeling extremely angry.

His family's medicinal field was well taken care of, but it was dug up.

Doctor Jiang said that among the ten villages, only Sunjia Village is not allowed to grow medicinal herbs.

This means that they will have to watch the other nine villages become prosperous while their Sunjia Village will remain poor.

Until the bottom.

As the head of the village, this was a slap in his face. Although Sunjia Village was not rich in the past and ranked third from the bottom, it was not the last. After being scolded, everyone looked unhappy and regretted why they didn't take good care of the herbs. They had been waiting for so long to grow herbs and make money.

But there's no use regretting.

Having offended Jiang Fubao, they have missed the opportunity to make a fortune.

The scene changed, and Sun Xiaotao's parents, Sun Cong and Wang Yaonu, were standing at the door. The couple quietly looked towards the village chief Sun's house, their ears almost raised to the sky.

The old couple eavesdropped and whispered, "It's what you deserve. You don't allow us to grow crops. Now let's not grow crops. How can you get rich? Humph, if we are to be poor, we will all be poor together. No one can hope to get rich."

"Haha, I was so happy tonight that I ate half a bowl more of rice. I felt so happy." Sun Cong echoed his wife's words.

The two have already separated from their three sons.

Live alone.

Life has always been difficult. The son is unfilial and the daughter-in-law is always scolding them. The grandson basically never comes to visit them except asking them for money and food.

As for their daughter Sun Xiaotao, the couple did go to Zhoujia Village to look for her, after all, it was so close.

I heard that many members of the Zhou family died, and the big house now belongs to the daughter.

The two were urged by their son and daughter-in-law to get a share of the profits, but Sun Xiaotao ignored them.

The couple said a lot of harsh words.

There is no use in pressing it.

Now, seeing that the villagers had no way to make money, even though it had nothing to do with them, the two of them felt extremely happy.

It was like the anger that had been held for years was released in an instant.

The whole body feels refreshed.

"Let's go back to sleep. I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep tonight. The more they can't sleep, the better I'll sleep."

After Sun Cong finished speaking, he went in with his hands behind his back.

Wang Yaonu also closed the door and prepared to go to bed.

On the other side, the situation is similar for Sun Mugen's family. Even though they are relatives of the Jiang family, they have no right to grow medicinal herbs. How angry they were then, how happy they are now.

"Dad, let them brag about it. Now you are dumbfounded, right? You worked hard for several months, but all your money was taken away. You worked for so long in vain, but you didn't get a penny. If you ask me, they deserve it! They forced us to do it, haha."

Sun Pingzhong said with a look of relief on his face.

"When you mention this, I get so angry. Your sister is raised in vain. She lives a good life. Look at us, we are so poor that we can't even afford refined rice. Do you know that everyone in the town is saying that the maids in the Jiang family eat refined rice and meat every day?

She wears silk and lives better than the daughters of ordinary families. We are not even as good as the maids in your sister's in-laws' house. Humph, if we had known this, we should have drowned her when she was born. You have fed her well and raised her up, and this is how you repay us. You are really a loser."

Sun Pingmei's mother, He Xinghua, cursed with her triangular eyes drooping.
